Due to long work hours and limited time and resources, I took it upon myself to slice and polish to the best of my ability a possible meteorite that I have, similar to one I've posted before except this one is a little bigger. Be that as it may, I humbly ask for the opinions of my fellow meteorite enthusiasts as to the authenticity of this rock. Thank you all and I wish everyone a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend.

Such a determination is very difficult without the rock in hand.
 

The usual questions apply, for starters.

Is it attracted to a magnet and, if so, how strongly?

Does it produce any kind of streak on the unglazed side of a porcelain tile? If so, how easily, and what colour is the streak after blowing away any dust?
